Claiming options

Even if you're already receiving Child Care Benefit for approved child care or Child Care Rebate for one or more children, you still need to claim for any additional children who start attending approved care.

You can claim Child Care Benefit for approved care as a fee reduction or as a lump sum online. It's secure, convenient and easy to claim online.
